Nearly 300 students from a variety of higher education institutions in Israel responded to a recent survey that examined their attitudes towards the integration of artificial intelligence applications in academia.
According to the survey, the most popular artificial intelligence application among students is ChatGPT, followed by a large margin, Dall-E 2. In addition, 53% of students testified that they use artificial intelligence applications, of which 66.5% use them occasionally during the week, that is, 35.2% of the students Use artificial intelligence applications at least once a week.
The respondents are students from a wide range of fields of study, including: learning technologies, education, computer science, engineering, exact sciences, humanities and social sciences and more.
About half of the respondents are men and the other half, women.
The average age of the respondents is 28 years.
80% of the students study for a bachelor's degree, 18% for a master's degree and 2% for a third degree.

The main use is to aid learning and not to write papers
Currently, the students use artificial intelligence applications mainly as learning aids, which are reflected in receiving ideas for inspiration, understanding content learned in the courses, further expansion beyond what was learned in the courses and drafting or editing a text.
The survey data clearly shows that students rarely use artificial intelligence applications for writing papers, solving exercises and creating a visual product.
In addition, they are almost never used for translation.
The students believe that through the artificial intelligence applications it will be possible to carry out academic work more easily and that no one will be harmed if these applications are used.
In addition, they believe that lecturers should allow the use of artificial intelligence.

The survey also shows that the students raise a concern that following the development, lecturers may give more difficult assignments and that they do not think that the use of artificial intelligence applications is unethical.
The survey was conducted by Dr. Mital Amzlag from the Faculty of Learning Technologies at HIT Holon Institute of Technology, and the dean of the faculty Prof. Gila Kurtz. On
March 9th, the artificial intelligence conference AI: Game Changer Or Game Over will be held at HIT which will deal with the artificial intelligence revolution in academia in Israel and around the world The revolution is expected to fundamentally change the ways of teaching, learning and research and will automatically lead to the automation of complex work processes that we were sure were meant only for humans.
